Review: This is one amazingly fun machine! - *I had some more time with it, and just started using it as a midi controller for both Reason 10, and Ableton Live 9, and it worked great. It's an audio/midi interface, and transfers both over the USB which is awesome. Sequencing my DAW rhythm tracks is so much more fun on the TR-8S, you can program your drums just the same as if you were sequencing the on-board sounds, it works the exact same way. Or, if you prefer using the onboard sounds you can just send it in as audio. For ever application I have used the TR-8S it has exceeded my expectations big time! I have made quite a few purchases this year, the GAS is real, and this, plus the Novation Circuit, are the ones that blew me away. It's also aesthetically pleasing IMO.* Just got this recently, and still have a lot of features to learn, and master, and there are A LOT of features! I also have the TB-3 which works very well with this, and they sound great together. Hooking all my gear up, and getting it all synced was pretty easy. The sound quality on this is really amazing, and all the ways you have to tweak your patterns makes this a real treat to play live. My absolute favorite part of this device is all the variations you can add to each pattern, and the either auto/manual fill you can set anywhere between 2 and 32 steps. That plus shuffle can make these really come alive, and not sound repetitive or stale. The built in models of all the classic roland machines sound really incredible. I'm not the person to side by side compare them to the originals and say they're 100%, and I'm not looking for that anyways. I just love how amazing they sound. The presets are pretty awesome, and really help give a feel for what this can do, as well as, help you get started with your own patterns. This device is easy to use, very easy to tweak live, easy to get tons of variations either automated or done live, and it sounds really phenomenal! It's easy to get up, and going out of the box, but there's definitely enough features here to keep me learning for a while! It even has the ability to add flams, and you can control the gap between the flam hits! As an actual drummer that to me is a really cool feature, among many others. Don't know if this helps anyone trying to decide. But I at least wanted to let everyone know I wasn't disappointed with what I got, and actually received a bit more than I expected from it, and and I am more than happy. If that ever changes as I learn, and master the machine I will update this. Review: Very fun and user friendly. Great sounds! - I had been looking for a drum machine for a while to help with writing music. I was going to get a simple and cheap machine with a few kits. I am so glad I didn't. Even though it is pricy, it is well worth it. There is so much customization on this machine and so many variables can be tweaked to get the sound you want. There are constant times I am listening to music online and can hear sounds I have heard on this drum machine so it's cool to know I can replicate these beats with a drum kit I can build in the machine. The first day I got it I was pretty much able to play with it right out of the box. If I had a question it was very easy to find in the user manual. The design is slick. Only con for me is it feels a little light and fragile. But I resolved that by getting a hardshell case with foam protection from Harbor freight (Apache 4800 case). What I really like is that this thing was built to be played live. Even though I bought it for writing, I know I can confidently take this gear out on a show and provide high quality sound. I work in the audio visual industry and was able to hook this gear up to some pro audio subwoofers and speakers we use for big events and the quality was amazing. Definitely a great buy! ## Features - Heritage Meets Modern Production: The TR-8S combines the best of its Roland heritage with modern production techniques and professional sound design - Versatile Kit Design: Design Kits with Authentic TR Drums, Sampled Sounds, and Customizable Effects - Authentic TR Drum Machine Sounds: The TR-8S has every sound from the most sought-after TR drum machines, with detailed circuit-models of the 808, 606, 909, 707, 727, and even several modified versions - Flexible Sample Import Options: Pull from the extensive collection of preset samples, or import your own mono or stereo sounds using the SD card slot - Advanced Sound Manipulation: Adjust decay and tuning and alter sample start points, speed, and direction - Hybrid Sound Creation: Create a kit entirely from samples or mix and match with TR sounds for genre-defying drum tracks that demand attention - Comprehensive Effects Processing: TR-8S effects include delay on a rim-shot, overdrive on a kick, filters on toms and cymbals, and precision reverb on selected instruments - Performance-Ready Kit Storage: Both Instrument and Master Effects, along with their precise settings, are saved with each kit, making your productions always performance-ready - Enhanced Workflow Software: The free TR-EDITOR significantly enhances the workflow of the TR-8S, providing an easy-to-use graphical interface with expanded visual controls and organizational tools that further amplify the TR's creative possibilities ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07B8ZGXTS | | Best Sellers Rank | #13,482 in Musical Instruments ( See Top 100 in Musical Instruments ) #10 in Drum Machines | | Body Material | Plastic | | Brand | Roland | | Brand Name | Roland | | Color | Black | | Connector Type | Input jack, output jack, DC IN jack | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 393 Reviews | | Finish Type | Polished | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00761294512111, 04957054512118 | | Included Components | Built-in drum kits and sounds | | Item Dimensions | 10.38 x 16.13 x 2.38 inches | | Item Type Name | Roland AIRA Rhythm Performer (TR-8S) | | Item Weight | 907 g | | Item dimensions L x W x H | 10.38 x 16.13 x 2.38 inches | | Manufacturer | Roland | | Model Name | Roland TR-8S Rhythm Performer | Advanced Drum Machine with Classic TR Drum Sounds | ACB Technology | | Model Number | TR-8S | | Number of Items | 1 | | Part Number | TR-8S | | Set Name | TR-8s | | UPC | 761294512111 632317256568 663185955604 736724294448 736724310193 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Warranty Description | See manufacturer's website for details. | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Roland - **Color:** Black - **Item Weight:** 907 g - **Item dimensions L x W x H:** 10.38 x 16.13 x 2.38 inches - **Model Name:** Roland TR-8S Rhythm Performer | Advanced Drum Machine with Classic TR Drum Sounds | ACB Technology ## Images ![TR-8S Rhythm Performer Advanced Drum Machine | Advanced Drum Machine with Classic TR Drum Sounds Including the TR-808, TR-909, TR-707, TR-727, TR-606 and CR-78, 128 Kits - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81-Bmc87UUL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Pattern, Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Does the aria tr-8 have speakers included in the device to output sound or does it have to be connected to external speakers, etc.?** A: Has to be connected to speakers by 1/4 jacks or if you have the mx-1 usb **Q: Can this be used in an analog set up?** A: Short answer: yes. It has both standard in+out midi ports and 1/4" phono audio inputs+outputs. **Q: Can i plug this to a 220-240 volts power source?** A: You would need to use the appropriate TR-8S power supply for 220 volts. The power supply that comes with the TR-8S is rated for 110 volts. **Q: Why is this less expensive than the 101? Are there less features?** A: They are pretty different in what they do. I dont have a 101 but i’ve heard of people having both for this reason. Watch some videos on both of them and you should be able to figure out which one fits your needs better. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This is one amazingly fun machine! *by J***K on May 9, 2018* *I had some more time with it, and just started using it as a midi controller for both Reason 10, and Ableton Live 9, and it worked great.
